    Episode 26: Ruthless People

    You guessed it. We are reviewing the 1986 comedy classic Ruthless People, starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold, Helen Slater and Bill Pullman. Everyone is extorting everyone and The Divine Ms M is at the height of her fame. We also talk about how Bette got her very appropriate nickname.

    Episode 25: The King Zone

    We review a classic Stephen King movie adaptation of 'The Dead Zone' (1983) starring Christopher Walken, Tom Skerritt and Martin Sheen. We also talk about Stephen King's movies, TV and big screen, which ones worked, which ones ....uh not so much.

    Episode 24: World Trade Center & United 93

    As a tribute to the memory of 9-11, we are focusing our podcast on two movies that were released in 2006 World Trade Center, starring Nicholas Cage and United 93 starring no one we know. Both good in their own way, however, United 93 is by far the more superior of the two. We also get into Nicholas Cage going from cold to hot to cold in his career.

    Episode 23: The Game's Afoot

    Scott and I talk about the 1988 Sherlock Holmes comedy 'Without a Clue'. The movie features a great cast including Oscar winners Michael Caine as Holmes and Ben Kingsley at Watson. The concept is clever and amusing but it falls short of delivery in a few spots. We also talk about the 10 million movie and TV adaptations of the beloved literary character; which ones worked and which ones not so much.

    Episode 22: What About Scott?

    This week we take a special request to review the 1991 hit film 'What About Bob?', a madcap comedy starring Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss and Julie Haggerty, Directed by Frank Oz. This film kind of reminds me of the song 'The Cat Came Back' as it has the same kind of premise. Bob is a walking phobia who experiences extreme separation anxiety when his new therapist goes on vacation. So he follows him and basically endures himself to everyone except his doctor. Hilarity ensues. We also talk about Bill Murray's well-documented antics and how polarizing a figure he can be. We also delve into actors with famously difficult reputations.

    Episode 21: The Accidental Podcast

    We review a movie I have referred to during several podcasts, the 1988 Best Picture nominee The Accidental Tourist starring William Hurt, Kathleen Turner and Geena Davis. A hidden gem that has mostly been forgotten among mainstream moviegoers, however, still highly revered in diehard movie circles. After the tragic murder of their 12-year-old son, William Hurt is sleepwalking through life, his wife (Kathleen Turner) declares she's suicidal and, for some reason, decides that living with a sleepwalker just isn't fun anymore. Geena Davis is a quirky dog trainer who sort of helps to bring him out of his catatonic state. We also talk about Oscar mistakes. That actually ends up taking most of the podcast because there are so many to cover. Enjoy!

    Episode 20: Me and Earl and The Dying Girl

    This week we are reviewing a little known gem of an indie picture called 'Me and Earl and The Dying Girl' starring Olivia Cooke and Thomas Mann. This film was unfortunately seen by very few. Given its quirky nature, you would've thought the Napoleon Dynamite crowd would've piled into the theaters to see this but alas it did not. We also talk about self-sabotaging actress Debra Winger, who was quite possibly the most in-demand actress of the '80s but apparently farting on Shirley MacLaine was rather frowned upon.

    Episode 19: Cloaks & Daggers & Kids... Oh My!

    This week we look at the 1984 kids film Cloak & Dagger starring Henry Thomas and Dabney Coleman. It was Thomas' last kick at stardom before disappearing down the rabbit hole of child star obscurity despite being an above-average child actor. We use this discussion to segway into a segment on child stars; who got out alive and who didn't.
